Angiosperms

Within the last few years Prof. J.hn Coulter and Dr. C.J. Chamberlain of Chicago University have given a valuable general account of the morphology of Angiosperms as far as concerns the flower, and the series of events which ends in the formation of the seed (_Morphology of Angiosperms_, Chicago, 1903).

The trend of the evolution of the plant kingdom has been in the direction of the establishment of a vegetation of fixed habit and adapted to the vicissitudes of a life on land, and the Angiosperms are the highest expression of this evolution and constitute the dominant vegetation of the earth's surface at the present epoch.

With respect to Angiosperms, they didn't just pop into existence, but evolved from seed-bearing plants, which in turn evolved from vascular plants.

Angiosperms (flowering plants) produce high-energy nectar to attract these animals, which become covered with pollen while gathering the nectar.

It became folded on itself to enclose and protect the ovule from being eaten by the pollinators hence Angiosperms.

False Fear? - The Panda's Thumb 2006

He equivocates between flowering plants (Angiosperms, which appeared in the Mesozoic) and leafy vascular plants in general (which are much older), and between Phasmids proper, Protophasmids and Chresmodidae (making the reader believe that the three groups are closely related and morphologically similar).

Note here: what was present before Angiosperms was the basic conformation of the mouthpart classes, not the actual highly adapted, specialized apparatuses that are often currently found in existing species.

In other words, insects pierced, sucked, gnawed, crushed, lapped, imbibed, scraped and otherwise fed on non-Angiosperm plants then, much as they do on Angiosperms today the only exception being the current highly specialized flower-feeding apparatuses, which not surprisingly appear in the fossil record at about the time of flowering plants.

The supposed “mystery” here is that a 1993 paper by Labandeira and Sepkoski showed that “by the middle Jurassic the earliest commonly accepted date for the origin of Angiosperms 65% (low estimate) to 88% (high estimate) of all modern insect mouthpart classes were present”.

Angiosperms Hebrew ets or trees that bear fruit necessary to sustain human life appeared much later.
